Gimikera Is In
Your resident gimikera is here to share her expeditions in this journey called life.
If you’re looking for a more convenient way of saving media (whether it’s an image or a video) from the Web, try this neat trick with Firefox.
In Firefox, if you right click and go to ‘View Page Info’ (it’ll show
up if you’re right-clicking on something that isn’t an image) you’ll see
a tabs called ‘media.’ In this tab you can see any media that is on the
page (movies, images, etc) and you can save those files from your hard
drive from there (there is a ’save as’ button). It’s a real timesaver compared to right-clicking on individual images and downloading them from
your hard drive.
Via Yano What I Mean
Note: This entry has long been overdue but I wanted to share the beauty of Manila after dark so here it is.
After paying our last respects to Cardinal Sin, Roger and I decided to explore Manila after dark. We walked from Manila Cathedral to Escolta Wharf where a festival was apparently being held. Along the way, I was mesmerized by the way the beauty of the Pasig River and the way the light of one of the bridges danced upon the water, making it seem like a living watercolor picture.
It’s not Milan — it’s our very own Pasig River.
Upon reaching Escolta Wharf, we learned that the Barbecue Festival was part of the 434th celebration of Manila Day. Billed as "Grill-ah in Manila," the Barbecue Festival showcased several bands (who were even displayed on a video wall) and several vendors selling (what else?) barbecue and grilled food.
Grill-ah in Manila
At the end of the wharf was a huge San Miguel beer bottle that served as the background of our picture.
"Itaas mo!" I dare you to drink from this beer bottle!
It was already around midnight so we decided to go home. We walked all the way to Sta. Cruz Church and ended up separating in Avenida, Recto.
Throughout our stroll, Roger kept commenting that Manila was such a beautiful place and based on what I’ve seen (and photographed), I couldn’t agree more. And I guess, there’s no better way to celebrate being a Manileño than on Manila Day (June 14).
For the complete set of pictures, check out Roger’s photo album of our night stroll.
